Kennesaw State University Oral History Project KSU Oral History Series No. 106 Interview with David L. Waples Conducted by Thomas A. Scott Edited and indexed by Thomas A. Scott Friday, 17 June 2011 Location: Sturgis Library, Kennesaw State University TS: David Waples was Athletic Director from 1987 to 2010 and then retired and stayed this last year working on the history of the Athletic Department. Dave, we start all these interviews by just asking people to talk a little bit about their background, where you were born, when you were born, where you grew up, and things of that sort—where you went to school and so on. DW: I’ll be happy to give you that and hopefully make a long story short. I was born in Columbus, Ohio, where we lived on a farm which was 10 miles outside of Columbus, and five miles out in the country from where I went to school in Grove City. My father worked in the post office, and we lived with my grandmother, his mom. My grandfather had died in 1947, and so the farm was worked by our cousin who lived down the road, as we say in Ohio.

  • The Immovable Object Texas’ 1983 Defense
    The Immovable Object Texas’ 1983 Defense by Adam Jones wenty-five years ago, the 1983 Longhorns played defense like no one had ever Tseen before . and maybe since. Jordan-Hare Stadium, Auburn, Alabama, September 17, 1983 Randy Campbell was leading a charmed life. The quarterback for the fifth-ranked Auburn Tigers trotted onto Jordan-Hare’s sacred turf in front of over 70,000 scream- ing sons and daughters of the South, all hell-bent on exhorting their Tigers to victory. Campbell obliged them, quickly firing a 23-yard completion to put the Texas defense on its heels. Little did he know that he and his offensive teammates had—on the second play from scrimmage—recorded their lone highlight of the next two hours . David McWilliams liked what he saw. Truth be told, there wasn’t much McWil- liams hadn’t seen in his career. The Longhorn defensive coordinator was a pure foot- ball man, dating from his days as an undersized center on Darrell Royal’s 1963 national championship squad. He knew every small town in Texas, every coach, every player, every way anyone had ever devised to stop an opposing offense. In the summer of 1983, McWilliams knew he had something special on defense. Texas returned nine starters, eight of them seniors who bred a contagious work ethic. Guys who always “handled their business,” McWilliams liked to say. The coach knew from long experience that it doesn’t much matter how smart the coach is; what matters is how much the players on the field can adjust to the events that unfold around them.
